Not on these pages, please
Come on, guys! Doc, that was really uncalled-for and not suitable for the best and most helpful Yam-trailbike forum out there. Kindly do us all a favour and delete that post. For the record, I'm sure I speak for more HUBB users than just myself in that we do appreciate your (usual) input.
Rich, I don't currently see your reference to changing the chain - please be more tactful when replying to helpful riders. I don't think you meant to sound rude but short lines of text can be such a blunt instrument.

Well, funnily enough, Rich07, I do have better things to do than read every word you post on the internet... (The rest not constructively quotable).

Er, yeah, I'm expecting (another) infraction for that one, but then again, he probably deserved it given the lack of appreciation for the basic lessons on mechanics that solved his problem that he couldn't be bothered to say "thanks" for, topped off by a fairly obvious ingrate comment.
Oh, well, such is life.....

I apologise if I said or did something wrong. It really wasnt my intention. Since English is not my mother tongue I might have hurt somby's feelings.
Maybe I did not express myself clearly. I appreciate every input of you all I really do.
Im not that kind of person who does not care about others.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for that - no worries.
Perhaps I did not appreciate the language barriers, so sorry if I offended you.
Hope the bike works out.

As for the float, what in your experience might be happening? Too high or too low? What's the reason to go off?

My guess is the fuel level is set too high, and overflows when you move the bike around, but im shooting in the dark here.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
